What's a max bid?

Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Luxembourg, Grand Duchy. An Order of the Oak Crown in Gold, III Class Commander, c.1900

(Ordre de la Couronne de Chene). Instituted in 1841. In 18K Gold with green and white enamels, weighing 18.2 grams, measuring 44.2 mm (w) x 48.2 mm (h) inclusive of its integral ring, crazing and chipping evident in the green enamels on both centrepieces, repair present in the white enamels on the arm at 12 o'clock, on an original full-length neck ribbon, very fine.

Footnote: The Order of the Oak Crown was established in 1841 by Grand Duke William II, who was also King of the Netherlands. At that time, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands were in personal union, in which both nations shared the same person as their respective head of state, though remaining as two distinct and independent nations. Although the order was legally a Luxembourgish honour, it was often used by William II and his successor, King-Grand Duke William III, as a house order of the Nassau dynasty to reward Dutch subjects, beyond the control of the Dutch government. It is awarded for civil and military services and for artistic achievement, in five grades: Grand Cross, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer and Knight, along with gilt, silver and bronze medals.
